To the men who broke my heart
A poem by Jessica Semaan
Thank you for the tears that turned into ink
Ink that turned into prose
Thank you for unleashing a river of pain
Pain that turned into unexpected lessons
Thank you for saving me time
time that turned into intimate moments with myself
Thank you for leaving me in the darkness
Darkness that reminded me of life’s bitter-sweetness
Thank you for breaking my heart open
An openness that made me love deeper and better
Thank you for the sad ending
A sad ending that brought together friends and strangers a little closer
And lastly, I thank you for paving the way
For the one who won’t break my heart, and I won’t break his
